Academic Editor: Brian T. Forschler Received: 29 January 2015 / Accepted: 11 June 2015 / Published: 23 July 2015 Abstract: We studied the usefulness of wood- and cellulose-based diets for L. africanus Lesne. Three diets were prepared which differed on the base ingredients; wood particles (Diet 1), cellulose powder (Diet 2), and alpha-cellulose (Diet 3). The diets were provided to adult L. africanus and the number of larvae, as well as the number of adults that emerged sex ratio, and body weight of the progeny was determined. Findings indicated similar results for the number of larvae, sex ratio and body weight of the emerged L. africanus fed on each diet. However, the number of adult produced by L. africanus on Diet 3 was significantly lower. The results indicate that the amount of vital nutrients is not the only important factor in selecting a suitable diet for L.

  • Express PRA Lyctus Africanus
    Express PRA for Lyctus africanus – Interception – Prepared by: Julius Kühn-Institute, Institute for national and international Plant Health; by: Dr. Thomas Schröder, Dr. Gritta Schrader, Dr. Anne Wilstermann; on: 18-12-2019 (replaces version of: 12-03-2015). Revision in red and italics. (translated by Elke Vogt- Arndt) Initiation: Interception of wooden packaging material by the plant protection service of the Federal State Brandenburg Initiation for the revision: Application on the update of the risk analysis by the plant protection service of the Federal State Brandenburg Express Pest Risk analysis Lyctus africanus Lesne 1907 Phytosanitary risk for Germany high medium low Phytosanitary risk for high medium low EU-Member States Certainty of the assessment high medium low Conclusion The beetle Lyctus africanus is endemic in Africa and so far, it does not occur in Germany and very likely not in the EU. So far, it is not listed – neither in the Annexes of Regulation (EU) 2019/2072 nor by the EPPO. Lyctus africanus infests various tropical and subtropical trees and wood. Due to inappropriate climatic conditions and very likely the lack of host plants in Germany and Central Europe, it is assumed that L. africanus is not capable to establish outdoors. The establishment in south European Member States cannot be totally ruled out but the risk is assessed as low. Eventually, the establishment in protected cultivation (tropical greenhouses) would be possible. The transfer from infested wooden packaging to plants under glass seems very unlikely. Thus, Lyctus africanus is not classified as a potential quarantine pest and Article 29 of the Regulation (EU) 2016/2031 does not apply.

Olivier, 1790), Heterobostrychus aequalis (Waterhouse, 1884), Sinoxylon unidentatum (Fabricius, 1801), Xyloperthella picea (A.G. Olivier, 1790) and Apate monachus Fabricius, 1775 are recorded for the first time. Two of the mentioned species (H. aequalis and S. unidentatum) are alien and recorded only on the basis of single captures and the possible establishment of these species is discussed. Earlier records of Scobicia pustulata (Fabricius, 1801) from Malta are incorrect and should be attributed to S. chevrieri (A. Villa & J.B. Villa, 1835).

Biodiversity of New Zealand beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera). Memoirs of the Museum of Victoria 56(2): 659-666. Approximately 5235 species are described for New Zealand, including 354 introduced. They belong to 82 families in two suborders, Adephaga and Polyphaga. The New Zealand beetle fauna is distinguished by the absence of many major lineages, a high level of endem- ism. which in many groups is over 90% at the specific level and over 43% at the generic level (e.g.. Staphylinidae), and the radiation of many groups of genera and species. The origins of New Zealand's beetle fauna are still poorly understood. They are likely to be varied, includ- ing Gondwanan elements and elements which arrived here by short and long-distance dispersal recently and in the remote past. The size of the New Zealand beetle fauna is con- sistent with species number/land area relationships in other areas around the world. Introduction Zealand beetles is that of Kuschel (1990), in the suburb of Lynfield, Auckland, in which 982 The beetles are the largest order of organisms, beetle species were recorded in a diverse veg- with over 350 000 described species world- etation including remnant forest, pastureland, wide. and suburban garden.

ABSTRACT Diversity, and for the first time, the vertical distribution of borer insects (Scolytinae, Platypodinae, and Bostrichidae) are described as associated with the edge and inside of a mangrove. To determine the diversity in these sites, insects were captured with interception traps baited with 70 % ethyl alcohol and using ultraviolet light as an attractant. To analyze the vertical distribution, traps baited with ethyl alcohol were placed at 1.5 m, 6 m, and 12 m in height. According to the diversity index (1D), the bor- der was 1.36 more diverse than the inside with 15.82 and 11.67 respectively.

The damage is slow and inconspicuous; thus, the infestation is mostly identi- fied belatedly due to a lack of knowledge of how to locate and monitor it. L. africanus produces a pheromone, a chemical compound to attract other beetles. This pheromone has been deter- mined and suggested as a monitoring tool for L. africanus. Here, we examined the physiological and behavioral parameters that affect pheromone production. We found that food availability may affect pheromone production in adult L. africanus males. In addition, of three components in male L. africanus aggregation pheromones, major compounds 2 (3-pentyl dodecanoate) and 3 (3-pentyl tetradecanoate) may be affected by age, not mating status, while compound 1 (2-propyl dodecanoate) was produced steadily and was affected by mating status.
